Queen Catalina High

Queen Catalina High... School for Special Abilities. School for the supernatural. Everything goes well...Except for the fact that Queen Catalina herself, ruler of Scenovia is a total tyrant. Let's see what she does...

11. Explanations & Exams

The purple folder was full of sheets of paper colour coded according to subject matter. Neat.

Hrrm yes a problem... There was just that slight glitch with rule number six. Just the fact that I HAVE TO INHABIT ANIMALS OTHERWISE MY BRAIN OVERHEATS AND EXPLODES. How I wondered, was I going to explain that to the teachers?

Oh oops I glanced at my watch. First day and I was already half an hour late for my exams. Damn It. I quickly opened the parcel and squeezed into the stuffy grey uniform. and purple tie. Hiding the mice in my skirt pocket and my hamster in my jumper I ran down the stairs two at a time. And practically flew into the main hall.

"Yes It is, but there's no need to show off." She glanced at my bulging pocket "And no need to hide them either. The school is fully aware of your situation. Now go and sit down - We're still waiting for one more pupil."

I wandered over to my desk and sat down. It hadn't exactly been a great start to the term but at least I wasn't the latest. I let the mice out of my pocket, making sure I had complete control over them first. I would have been horrivly embarrasing if they had got lost. There was a girl on the desk next to me with curly orange hair and an odd sickly sweet smile. She couldn't seem to take her eyes off my animals. Oh well, the exams hadn't started yet.. I would give her something to look at. Slowly Matilda (the mouse) lifted the pencil off the desk, she wrote Hello on the back of the test. I flicked back to my own body and glanced over at the other girl. That was seriously weird. She hadn't moved an inch, hadn't even blinked. Something was wrong. I reached out with my mind. probing the air where she should have been. There was nothing there..... she had no brain! But that wasn't possible was it?...
